STATEMENT, ELEGANTLY DELIVERED
Bold, graceful, assertive and elegant, the Maserati Ghibli offers something very different
in a world of business-like conformity. As you would expect of a luxury sports sedan, there’s
soothing comfort and effortlessly intuitive technology, but also race-bred performance. There’s
graceful, four-door coupé design, but also sporting character. And there’s the comfort of a
smooth ride, but also pin-sharp, sports car-like handling.
 Such dynamic contrasts, so typical of Maserati, are a source of endless inspiration – whether you’re
on the way to a conference or breaking loose for the drive of a lifetime. The latest models now
offer even more excitement, with a host of exterior design refinements, new safety technology
and important developments when it comes to Advanced Driving Assistance Systems. The Ghibli
is offered in GranLusso and GranSport trims, each comprehensively equipped according to your precise
personal wishes. With the GranLusso, the emphasis is on luxury and comfort. With the GranSport,
it’s more about engaging driving dynamics. Both offer you a new range of alloy wheel, exterior paint
colour and interior trim options. Whatever your choice, whatever your ambition, the Maserati Ghibli
always has a uniquely inspirational answer.

A A history of character
 An
ENDURING LEGACY
The first Maserati Ghibli was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro and unveiled at the Turin Motor Show
of 1966. Giugiaro, then in his 20s, was considered a design prodigy. And rightly so. His creation, with
its 2+2, fastback format, pop-up headlights and audacious shark-nosed profile was an instant hit and
became an automotive design icon. Maserati had planned to make 100 models but, following the car’s
rapturous reception, that number was boosted to 400. In the end, the Ghibli remained in production
until the end of 1972, with 1,295 examples built in spyder and coupé format. The car followed a
tradition pioneered by Maserati with the glorious A6 1500 of 1947. It was a grand tourer. That meant
it delivered on the promise of glorious style, high-powered luxury and peerless comfort over almost any
distance the owner cared to consider. It was also, naturally, a car imbued with our motor racing DNA –
a remarkably powerful force. Indeed, well before 1966, we had proved our credentials with a host of
famous wins. Here are just a few examples. In 1926, Alfieri Maserati drove the Maserati Tipo 26 to
victory in its first ever race – the treacherous Targa Florio in the mountains of Sicily. In 1939, Wilbur Shaw
won the Indianapolis 500 at the wheel of the Maserati ‘Boyle Special’ 8 CTF at an average speed of
over 185 km/h. He then repeated this incredible feat the next year, making Maserati the only European
manufacturer to win the Indy 500 two years in a row. Our latest Ghibli embodies the spirit that shaped
both the first incarnation of 1966 and our hunger to innovate, compete and win. That means exclusive
luxury, elegant yet bold design and progressive technology. And, of course, empowering performance.

 Singular
STYLE
The design of the Ghibli is a study in dynamically sculpted curves and gracefully flowing lines. At the
front, the signature grille bearing the Maserati Trident signals both dynamic intent and poised composure.
Inspired by the legendary A6 GCS Berlinetta of the 1950s, it features chromed bars and is perfectly
integrated into the bumper, also updated.

16
 In profile, a host of details create a striking coupé look. They include frameless doors, muscular rear
haunches and the sloping C-pillar design, which incorporates the timeless Saetta logo. The car’s sportiness
is enhanced by quad chrome exhaust tailpipes – not to mention the inspirational words ‘Maserati’ and
‘Ghibli’ in the company’s classic script.

18
 Sophisticated
NEW EXTERIOR SHADES
To enhance your paint options as well as the eye-catching allure of Ghibli, a striking new shade has
recently been added to refresh the exterior colour palette: Blu Nobile. It reflects a different side of the
BLU NOBILE TRI-COAT PAINT that transforms each time the car flashes past. Ever since the
Maserati personality and captures the boldness and sophistication for which the Trident is renowned. Deep, dark blue with sparkling glass flakes that glisten when times of the ancient Egyptians, blue has been blessed with noble
exposed to sunlight and enhance the unique design of the connotations, standing for royalty and favoured by rulers. This
Ghibli. Shimmering like the tips of the waves in the rolling ocean, imperious shade of blue reflects these aristocratic traditions and
this is not so much a colour as an enriching visual experience perfectly complements the effortlessly flowing lines of the Ghibli.

I INTERIORS
 A distinctive
INVITATION
The interior of the Ghibli is, in essence, a clearly expressed invitation to travel – in luxurious comfort and
with effortless access to the high power at your disposal. In true Maserati grand touring tradition, the
cabin is characterised by elegant Italian style, hand-crafted finishes and perfectly organised, generously
proportioned design. The sumptuous leather-finished curves, the clean, technical purity of the dashboard
and detailing in metallic-effect Dark Mirror trim simultaneously relax and heighten the senses. Two side
panels converge towards an elegantly simple central structure, which houses the traditional Maserati
clock with its blue face and aluminium detailing. Beneath that, there’s the 8.4” touchscreen infotainment
system and rotary control, along with a handy phone storage box. The large speedometer and rev
counter benefit from purist white backlighting and are separated by a 7” TFT display that presents the
car’s dynamic data, while new American-size cupholders add to the sense of luxury within the cabin.
Even with its head-turning coupé-like proportions, the Ghibli offers class-leading front legroom, as well
as comfortable head and leg space for rear passengers. All seats are clad in meticulously selected and
processed leather. In the finest tradition of Italian craftsmanship, they are also stitched by hand, while
the front headrests are embossed with the Trident logo. Your options have recently been extended with
the possibility of immaculately soft Pieno Fiore natural leather, as well as new interior trims. Individual
adaptability is a Maserati hallmark. Which is why, for instance, the driver’s seat of the Ghibli offers six-way
electric adjustment and the leather multi-function steering wheel features a wealth of adjustment possibilities.

24
 New
inTERIOR TRIMS
The purposeful ambience of the cabin is another aspect that creates a strong point of difference for Maserati. Two lavish new interior
trims add to the appeal of this sanctuary for the driver, and further increase the options for personalisation.

HIGH-GLOSS CARBON FIBRE TWILL HIGH-GLOSS ROVERE VENEER

Developed to emphasise the sporty nature of Maserati, this
new trim has a glossy top coat that presents a textured 3D look
and adds further exclusivity to the cabin. Every car is completely
unique as the carbon pattern is real, ensuring that it will be
slightly different every single time. The other beauty of carbon
is its extraordinary natural strength, which prevents the trim
from marking and protects the integrity of the Ghibli interior.
As with all other new Maserati trims, this complex veneer took
around a year to develop from original concept to finished
product. It is a combination of three different woods layered
and then crafted by artisans in Italy. The tree bearing the Rovere
wood is the symbol of one of the most powerful Italian families,
and it is the fine stripes and glossy top coat that give this trim
its highly distinctive appearance.

27
G GRAN DUO
GhibliGran
FOR THE LOVE OF LUXURY Lusso
 The GranLusso trim builds on the exclusive appeal of the Ghibli with chromed bumper inserts, body-
colour side skirts, the GranLusso badge on the front wings and 19” Poseidone alloy wheels with black
brake calipers. There’s also the option of a power boot lid with a kick sensor. With this, the boot can be
opened by simply moving your foot under the rear bumper.

36
 Opulence
WITH AN EDGE
The Ghibli GranLusso introduces higher levels of luxury and convenience. This offers Comfort seats with
12-way power adjustment and a memory function as well as the choice of full premium leather, Pieno
Fiore natural leather or Ermenegildo Zegna silk upholstery, complemented by Radica open-pore wood
trim. The power-adjustable steering wheel is also finished in fine wood. More exclusive luxuries include
the Harman Kardon Premium Sound system, a power rear sunblind, power foot pedals and an electrically
lockable, PIN number-protected passenger glove box.

38
Ghibli Gran Sport
SPORT TAKES CENTRE STAGE
 For an even sharper sporting edge, there’s the Ghibli GranSport. This is equipped with a Sport-specific
bumper with Black Piano inserts, the GranSport badge on the wings and 20” Urano machine-polished
alloy wheels with red calipers.

An optional Exterior Carbon Package for the GranSport is another tempting choice. This includes door
handles, exterior door mirrors, B- and C-pillar covers, front splitter and the rear spoiler all finished in
carbon. Both the GranLusso and GranSport trim options, meanwhile, offer the hi-tech style and safety
of the new anti-glare full LED Adaptive Matrix headlights and the convenience of Soft Close Doors.
The enhanced headlight technology continuously adjusts the high and low beams, ensuring a sublimely
comfortable and safe drive experience, whatever the speed or driving conditions.

 Take
THE RACING LINE
For a dynamic atmosphere, the GranSport interior features body-hugging Sport seats, also with 12-way
power adjustment and a memory function, a grippy Sport steering wheel, gearshift paddles and purist
Inox Sport foot pedals. Additionally, there is the option of an interior carbon package with the GranSport.
This adds lightweight, satisfyingly tactile carbon finishing to the Sport steering wheel, gearshift paddles,
doorsills and interior trim.

E ENGINES
 CHOICES,Two
ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES
A core offering of all Maserati vehicles is the ability to cover long distances at dynamic yet refined high speed. With the Ghibli,
the power that delivers this comes from a choice of two V6 petrol engines and a V6 diesel.
The Ghibli offers the inspirational, high-capacity power expected
of a Maserati supercar. It’s also a luxury executive saloon, so it’s
highly efficient and low on CO2 emissions. Nothing can match
the Maserati engine note, however. And with the Ghibli, a
lightweight exhaust system with bypass valves ensures that it’s
delivered to maximum effect. With Sport mode active – which
also sharpens the vehicle’s handling parameters – the valves
open, providing the shortest, highest-energy route for the
exhaust gases. The result is optimised performance and that
unmistakably resonant, spine-tingling sound.
350 CV V6 TWIN TURBO
The V6 engine in the Ghibli delivers 350 CV at 5,500 rpm and
500 Nm of torque at 4,500. In overboost mode, peak torque
is available between 1,750 and 4,500 rpm. Combined fuel
consumption is just 11.0-11.1 litres/100 km and combined CO2
emissions are between 248 and 252 grams per kilometre. The
350 CV Ghibli accelerates from a standing start to 100 km/h in
just 5.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 267 km/h.
430 CV V6 TWIN TURBO
The Ghibli S and S Q4 features the most powerful version of the
V6. Maximum output has been raised to 430 CV and is delivered
at 5,750 rpm. With overboost mode, peak torque of 580 Nm is
on tap between 2,250 rpm and 4,000 rpm. That means remarkable
driving flexibility and performance. The Ghibli S dispatches the
sprint from 0-100 km/h in 4.9 seconds, while the S Q4 achieves
4.7 seconds. Both share a top speed of 286 km/h. Combined
fuel consumption and CO2 emissions for the S version are 11.0-
11.1 litres/100 km and between 248 and 252 g/km. The need-
to-know numbers for the S Q4 are 11.7-11.8 litres/100 km and
between 265 and 268 g/km.
49
 An
ALL-MASERATI DIESEL
The Ghibli diesel was the first diesel-powered car in the history of Maserati - and it’s everything a Maserati engine should be.
The turbocharged V6 in the Maserati Ghibli diesel offers a
uniquely rewarding combination of massive power, long-distance
refinement and impressive efficiency. Developing class-leading
output of 275 CV and a mighty 600 Nm of torque, the engine
takes the Ghibli from zero to 100 km/h in a fast and smooth
6.3 seconds before going on to top speed of 250 km/h.
As for economy and emissions, the figures speak volumes.
Combined fuel consumption is between 7.0 and 7.6 litres per
100 km and CO2 emissions are just 183-199 g/km. A state-
of-the-art Common Rail fuel injection system and the “air
gap technology” of the exhaust manifolds ensure excellent
refinement, while variable geometry turbocharging significantly
cuts turbo lag. The turbo system also benefits from a Rotary
Electronic Actuator. This reduces friction for even better
responsiveness and lower emissions. The function automatically
deactivates in Sport mode and when the driver turns off stability
control. It can also be deactivated from the cluster display controls
using the steering-wheel buttons. When it comes to the engine
note, this engine is evidently all Maserati. Thanks to the Maserati
Active Sound system, two actuators underscore the engine’s
most rousing tones and modulate them according to driving
style. And when the driver presses the Sport button, the vocal
performance becomes even more dynamically forceful.
51
T TECHNOLOGY
 Sophistication
AND EXHILARATION
The sophisticated ZF eight-speed automatic transmission in the Maserati Ghibli puts a vast world of possibilities in the palm of your hand –
and, if tempted, your fingertips.
The advanced design of the ZF eight-speed automatic transmission
ensures precise gear changes and optimum performance, putting
the power of the Ghibli engines under your complete control.
Thanks to auto-adaptive software, the transmission modifies
its shift patterns according to driving style, for an even more
rewarding, one-to-one driving experience. And when it comes
to long, high-speed journeys, the last two gears, seventh and
eighth, are specially calibrated to reduce fuel consumption and
further increase comfort. The transmission sends power to the
rear wheels of all Ghibli versions via a standard mechanical
Limited-Slip differential. This ensures superb traction in even
challenging situations. Operation has recently been made even
more effortless with a new gear lever design featuring separate
lanes for RND and manual selection. With only one setting per
lane in each direction, the short travel further enhances engine
responsiveness. The dedicated Park button on the lever only
adds to the convenience. For maximum driver involvement,
there are five operating modes, selected using the buttons
near the gear lever: Auto Normal, Auto Sport, Manual Normal,
Manual Sport, and Increased Control & Efficiency (I.C.E.).
Upshifts are all automatic unless a manual mode is selected.
AUTO NORMAL MODE
This pre-set mode provides smooth gearshifts at low revs to
maximise ride comfort and minimise fuel consumption. When
a sportier style of driving is recognised, upshifts automatically
take place at higher engine speeds.
AUTO SPORT MODE
In this mode, gearshifts take place in under 100 milliseconds
and occur at higher revs. This guarantees a near-seamless flow
of exhilarating high power and a far more sporty driving style.
What’s more, on petrol-engine versions, overboost is activated.
This gives access to peak torque at a considerably reduced
engine speed. Integrated Vehicle Control (IVC) adds to the
excitement, giving the driver even more dynamic control.
MANUAL NORMAL MODE
This allows the driver to change gear using the optional paddles
behind the steering wheel or the lever on the central tunnel.
The system automatically shifts up a gear as the red line approaches,
and shifts down in the same way.
MANUAL SPORT MODE
In Manual Sport, the driver takes full control of the transmission:
the overboost function is activated for maximum performance,
gearshifts are quicker and sharper, and the engine can be pushed
to the limit without the system intervening. The only automatic
feature is downshifting if the revs drop too low.
I.C.E. (INCREASED CONTROL & EFFICIENCY) MODE
This mode ensures better control in all weather conditions,
the most comfortable and quietest engine response, and
minimal fuel consumption.
57
 Masterful
DYNAMICS
The long road ahead, with its twists, turns and occasional surprises, is there for the taking in the Maserati Ghibli thanks
to a host of intelligent systems.
Q4 INTELLIGENT ALL-WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM
The Ghibli S Q4 is a perfect choice for drivers seeking the dynamic
rewards of rear-wheel drive with the back-up of four-by-four
traction. Each version features the same compact and lightweight
Q4 intelligent all-wheel drive system. In normal conditions, the
Q4 system sends all torque to the rear wheels, for perfectly
balanced Maserati driving dynamics and optimal fuel consumption.
If traction is lost due to sudden acceleration of very low grip at
the rear axle, Q4 can alter the torque split from 100 per cent
rear-wheel drive to 50-50 between the front and rear wheels.
It all happens in an imperceptible 150 milliseconds – or less than
the blink of an eye.
SKYHOOK SUSPENSION
The Ghibli GranSport features Skyhook suspension as standard,
with shock absorbers delivering continuous damping variation.
The system uses sensors that monitor the movement of each
wheel and the car’s body to determine the road conditions
and how the car is being driven. It then instantly adjusts the
settings of each damper accordingly. The basic setting prioritises
ride comfort, but if more dynamic handling is required, a simple
press of the suspension button on the central tunnel immediately
firms up the shock absorbers.
58
ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS)
All Maserati Ghibli versions feature EPS as standard, without
compromising the responsiveness that is such an important part
of our DNA. This system is designed to provide the excellent
road-feel expected from Maserati and is particularly efficient as
it is powered directly by the engine when needed, so there is no
need for a hydraulic pump. What’s more, with no pressurised
fluid under the bonnet, less maintenance is required. The system
adapts its weight according to speed, being lighter and easy to
turn when manoeuvring in a tight spot, for instance. Conversely
it has a weightier, more connected feel at high speeds. Another
plus point is integration with active Advanced Driving Assistance
Systems such as Highway Assist, Lane Keeping Assist and Active
Blind Spot Assist.
INTEGRATED VEHICLE CONTROL
It’s often better to be proactive, rather than reactive – especially
when it comes to driving dynamics. Integrated Vehicle Control
(IVC) anticipates any issues that could cause instability and
counteracts them in the blink of an eye. The system works by
selectively reducing engine torque and applying brakeforce
to individual wheels as required. The result, out on the open
road or through sweeping twists and turns, is increased safety,
greater driving enjoyment and potentially higher speeds.
 Innovation
FOR A CONNECTED WORLD
A cutting-edge infotainment package puts the focus on intuitive engagement,
real-world assistance and adaptable enjoyment.
The interior of the Ghibli is built around a driver interface that
is intuitive, uncluttered and simple to use. The instrument
cluster features large analogue gauges for the tachometer
and speedometer, alongside a 7” TFT display. Major dynamic
functions are incorporated into the buttons alongside the
gearshift, while other on-board settings can be set using the
Maserati Touch Control Plus (MTC+) infotainment system at
the centre of the dashboard, or the steering wheel controls for
the 7” TFT display.
MASERATI TOUCH CONTROL PLUS
The 8.4” Maserati Touch Control Plus (MTC+) unit takes pride
of place at the centre of the Ghibli dashboard. With very few
buttons plus a highly responsive interface, it is designed to help
the driver maintain focus on the road ahead and mastering it
is intuitive and easy.
MTC+ can be operated in three ways: via the multi-touchscreen,
the rotary control in the central console, or through voice
60
commands. The system incorporates the car’s radio, Bluetooth®,
and satellite navigation system (where fitted), along with
connections to external sources such as mobile phones, tablets
and laptop computers.
Using Aux-in, USB sockets or the SD card reader, you can
also play music. In addition, MTC+ controls the front seat
heating, as well as the ventilation, steering wheel heating and
the operation of the rear sunblind, where fitted. The screen
also displays the rear view, with guidelines, for the reversing
camera, too.
The state-of-the-art system features both Apple CarPlay® and
Android Auto® mirroring functions. In addition, for iPhone®
users, Apple’s SIRI® system acts as a personal assistant, allowing
them to carry out tasks using voice command. Through naturally
spoken language, it is possible to make a call or access music,
messages, reminders, emails, websites and much more.
T THE SOUND OF QUALITY
 WorldClass
AUDIO ENTERTAINMENT
The Ghibli is offered with three audio system choices. A powerful
280-watt, 8-speaker package is fitted as standard and sets
the bar at an impressively high level. You can, however, move
up to one of two outstanding options designed for true audio
aficionados – the 10-speaker Harman Kardon Premium Sound
system and the 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins Surround Sound
system.
HARMAN KARDON PREMIUM SOUND SYSTEM
The optional Harman Kardon Premium Sound system offers the
most elevated levels of audio refinement, with every component
uniquely tailored to perfectly match the Ghibli interior. To achieve
this, Harman Kardon sound engineers worked very closely with
the development team at Maserati. The core of the system
is a state-of-the-art, 900-watt amplifier, delivering rich and
detailed sound quality, whatever the source, be it radio, MP3
player, iPhone® or audio streaming device. No fewer than 12
independent channels are deployed, for superb balance within
the car environment. A special high-performance subwoofer
handles the low-end frequencies with ease, while the mid-range
drivers and tweeters ensure that every instrument and every
artist can be appreciated to the full. And with the 10 high-
powered speakers carefully distributed throughout the cabin,
this system guarantees sublime sound for all on board the Ghibli.
BOWERS & WILKINS SURROUND SOUND
This audio package is the product of 50 years of Bowers & Wilkins’
countless hours of testing and even extensive research in the
field of psychoacoustics – the science of how people react
emotionally to sound. Fifteen speakers, with mid-range drivers
and rear-woofers made from Kevlar®, have been strategically
built into the car’s architecture, while a 1,280-watt amplifier
ensures immersive sound for all on board. Advanced aluminium
tweeters capture the faintest audio subtleties, while creating
a rock-solid bass is guaranteed by Rohacell® in the system’s
bass drivers. The system features QuantumLogic™ Surround
Sound Technology, which digitally remodels signal streams and
reconstructs the original recording of a musical piece. Along
with this, the Clari-Fi function automatically restores detail lost
in digitally compressed music. The Bowers & Wilkins system is
compatible with most disc formats and features a built-in USB
connector for a smartphone, iPod or MP3 player. Alternatively,
tracks can be streamed directly either via Bluetooth®, Apple
CarPlay® or Android Auto®.
65
S SAFETY
 Advanced
DRIVING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
The Ghibli is equipped with an impressively comprehensive range of Advanced Driving Assistance Systems. It means even greater
peace of mind, whether you’re on an exclusive grand tour or a dash through the city.
TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION
It can be easy to miss traffic signs sometimes, for all sorts
of reasons. This is where Traffic Sign Recognition comes in.
It monitors three types of sign: speed limits, temporary speed
limits due to conditions such as heavy rain, and no-overtaking
zones. It then displays the signs digitally in the cluster display.
The system works with a digital camera mounted behind the
rear-view mirror and navigation system data.
HIGHWAY ASSIST SYSTEM (HAS)
This combines the virtues of Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop
& Go and Lane Keeping Assist to make life even easier on
motorways, while achieving level 2 semi-autonomous driving.
Using information picked up from a digital camera behind the
rear-view mirror and a radar system in the front grille, HAS
automatically keeps the vehicle centred in its lane, at a pre-
selected speed and at a chosen distance from the vehicle ahead.
It will even decelerate the Ghibli through to a standstill as the
traffic dictates. To ensure safety, HAS requires the driver to
keep his or her hands on the steering wheel at all times.
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM
Thanks to a camera in the rear-view mirror that monitors road
markings ahead, the Lane Departure Warning system helps the
driver keep the vehicle in the chosen lane on motorways and
main roads. This reduces lane drift and the possibility of lateral
collisions by providing a warning when the vehicle crosses lane
markings without signalling. Activation of the turn indicator
overrides the system.
LANE KEEPING ASSIST (LKA)
This provides valuable support if the driver is about to
unintentionally leave a lane. A digital camera behind the rear-
view mirror continuously monitors road markings to keep track
of the course ahead. The instrument panel display shows the
specific status. White lines on either side of the vehicle image
indicate that it is safely in lane. One yellow line indicates that
the Ghibli is moving off-centre, right or left. And one flashing
yellow line warns of lane departure. At that point, when the
Visual & Haptic box is selected in the touchscreen display, LKA
actively steps in with corrective steering torque.
ACTIVE BLIND SPOT ASSIST
With this system, a warning icon appears in the exterior door
mirrors when a vehicle enters the driver’s blind spot. Three levels
of support can be selected if the driver nonetheless initiates a
lane change. Either the system maintains the visual alert in the
door mirrors, the alerts are backed up with an acoustic warning,
or the system intervenes with steering torque. The intensity of
this torque is also adaptable according to preference.
69
 SURROUND VIEW CAMERA
This provides a clear 360° view around the car, helping with
parking and highlighting otherwise hidden obstructions. Images
are captured by two cameras beneath the door mirrors plus
front and rear cameras and shown on the main display screen.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WITH STOP & GO
Adaptive Cruise Control constantly monitors the vehicle ahead,
maintaining a pre-set distance. With the Stop & Go function,
the car will also adjust to the speed of the vehicle in front until it
comes to a complete stop, if the stop is less than three seconds.
FORWARD COLLISION WARNING PLUS
This system monitors vehicles and pedestrians ahead and warns
if the approach could result in a rear-end collision. If the warning
does not prompt any action from the driver, the Autonomous
Emergency Braking system (AEB) automatically applies the brakes
to reduce the car’s speed. It is linked to the Advanced Brake
Assist system (ABA), which provides additional braking during
an emergency stop.
70
REAR CROSS PATH FUNCTION
This is a welcome feature that emits a warning when an unseen
vehicle is approaching, from the right or left, while reversing
out of a parking space.
FRONT AND REAR PARKING SENSORS
AND REVERSING CAMERA
To assist with manoeuvring in tight spaces, the Ghibli comes
equipped with parking sensors in the front and rear bumpers.
Beeping noises increase in frequency as the obstacle approaches,
while the TFT display in the centre of the instrument panel shows
the car surrounded by symbols which light up in green, yellow
or red depending on the remaining distance. In addition, there
is an optional rear-view camera, fitted close to the boot lock,
that shows a view of what is behind the car on the Maserati
display. Dynamic grid lines illustrate the maximum width of the
vehicle and its projected path, based on the steering angle of
the front wheels.
 Comprehensive
SAFETY
Maserati made safety a top priority when designing the Ghibli. So not only does it provide mile after mile of high-powered luxury,
it also has the full 5-star EURO NCAP safety rating.

THE MASERATI STABILITY PROGRAM
Developed in the most extreme test conditions, the Maserati
Stability Program (MSP) uses an array of sensors to constantly
monitor driving status. It can then deploy a host of safety and
performance systems to maintain handling and grip. If, for
instance, a skid is detected, MSP selectively reduces engine
torque and can activate the brakes with finely varied inputs to
restore stability within milliseconds. The MSP system also works
in harmony with functions including Anti Slip Regulation (ASR),
which reduces wheel spin and improves traction, and engine
brake torque control (MSR) that prevents the wheels from
locking up when suddenly changing down gears. Additionally,
antilock brakes (ABS) and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution
(EBD) stop the wheels from locking and distribute brakeforce
between the front and rear axles. Further support is provided by
the Brake Assist System (BAS). This recognises emergency stops
and boosts the pressure in the hydraulic circuit to maximise
stopping power. A Hill Holder, meanwhile, helps the driver
when starting off on an uphill slope.

73
FULL-LED ADAPTIVE MATRIX HEADLIGHTS
WITH ANTI-GLARE HIGH-BEAM ASSIST
The GranLusso and GranSport are fitted with Full-LED Adaptive
Matrix headlights that even further sharpen the striking Maserati
look, significantly improve visibility and lower energy usage.
They also offer remarkably long bulb life. With 15 LEDs operating
at full beam, these headlights offer a 200% greater field of
vision than traditional halogen lights. Road illumination extends
by 55 metres and bulb longevity is roughly twice as long.
Its glare-free technology enables drivers to gain the full benefits
of their headlights without affecting oncoming vehicles. This uses
a digital camera behind the rear-view mirror to detect approaching
vehicles. It then directs the light away from the other vehicles,
leaving them untroubled by glare. The surrounding areas,
meanwhile, remain safely and effectively lit with near-daylight
quality illumination.
ADAPTIVE DRIVING BEAM (ADB)
This automatically adjusts the width and depth of the headlight
beams, giving maximum lighting effectiveness and optimal
safety. This is made possible by a camera mounted in the rear-
view mirror and sensors that monitor several different parameters,
including the steering wheel position, the car’s speed and the
way it is being driven. ADB comes on automatically when driving
in bad weather, on motorways or in town.
TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
The system, standard on all Ghibli versions, continuously monitors
tyre pressure using a sensor integrated with the valve. The pressure
can be read on the dashboard display. In the case of a puncture
or a change in tyre pressure, the system notifies the driver with
visual and acoustic warnings.

THE WORLD OF MASERATI
 BECOME A MASTER
OF DRIVING
MASTER MASERATI DRIVING COURSES
Driving a Maserati on the open road is one of life’s most exhilarating
experiences. With a Master Maserati driving course you can quickly find
out what happens when you swap the joys of the highway for the intensity
of the track or the challenges of a tough off-road circuit.
Maserati courses give you free rein to explore the seemingly endless
dynamic potential of the entire Maserati model range. They also offer two
rare and truly extraordinary opportunities – taking personal charge of the
awe-inspiring GranTurismo GT4 racer and experiencing it with a GT world
champion at the wheel.
As a Master Maserati driver, you’ll discover how all of Maserati cars – with
their racing DNA – are built to bring out the very best in you as you pursue
ever-faster lap times or tackle difficult terrain.
But you won’t be going it alone. We provide tailored one-to-one instruction
from championship-winning drivers who coach from the passenger seat
as you drive – providing a level of personal attention that promises both
immersive enjoyment and accelerated learning. The support of advanced
technology, such as telemetry and video analysis, further helps you fine-
tune your skills.
Master Maserati courses are held at the Varano de’ Melegari (Parma)
circuit, a track with first-class safety standards and superb on and off-road
facilities nestled in beautiful Italian countryside.
82
YOUR INSTRUCTORS
Experts are international drivers with first-hand experience in elite racing
categories such as Formula 1, the World Endurance Championship and the
World Rally Championship. The coaching team are all Italian and they’ve
worked exclusively at Master Maserati for many years, combining training
at Varano with their own motor sport careers. All in all, including our
driving experts, there is a staff of more than 50 people, led by Andrea de
Adamich, a highly respected figure in motor sport.
PRACTICE
START YOUR ENGINES AND GET READY FOR
YOUR FIRST RIDE INTO THE MASERATI WORLD
The journey to Maserati Mastery starts now. Think of a Formula 1 practice
session and then put yourself in the driving seat. This is, essentially, what
happens here. After you’ve picked up the fundamentals of track driving
through one-to-one expert guidance, you’ll be out there on the track –
enjoying the immediate, exhilarating experience of exploring the performance
limits of the Quattroporte, Ghibli, Levante, GranTurismo and GranCabrio.
It’s an experience that will make you a considerably better driver and
eager for more excitement in the future. You’ll also be ready to take the
next step up – to Qualifying.
QUALIFYING
MASTER THE ART OF SPEED BEHIND THE WHEEL
OF A MASERATI
Progression to the Qualifying stage means raising the intensity in the
GranTurismo, Ghibli, Quattroporte and Levante. Just as you would in a
qualifying session, you’ll be pushing the limits, making mistakes, fixing
them – and getting faster as you master the art of speed in your Maserati.
And of course, your Master Maserati driving expert will be right there
by your side, passing on championship-winning knowledge and insight.
At this level, we introduce detailed video analysis and vital insights from
racing telemetry that will help you fine-tune your skills. These techniques
often lead to major improvements in your driving, which you will be eager
to build on in the courses to come.
